Documentary tells Lydia Cacho’s story
A documentary film documenting the experiences of persecuted Mexican journalist Lydia Cacho Ribiera premiered in Mexico City on Saturday night.
The film, which was shown as part of the DocsDF film festival, documents the series of events set in motion following the publication of Cacho’s book, Los Demonios de Eden.
Hundreds of people showed up to the premier, which was screened at Cinemex Insurgentes on Saturday evening.
The book alleges the existence of a pedophile ring in the southern city of Cancun, and implicates a number of government officials and businessmen. Following its publication, Cacho was arrested illegally and tortured before being released.
Her case is currently with Mexico’s Supreme Court, and she is the first woman in the country to file a federal suit against a governor, district attorney and a judge for corruption and attempted rape in prison.
The documentary follows Cacho throughout the process, and also features incriminating taped conversations between the accused.
Mexico was recently reported to be one fo the msot dangerous places in the world to work as a journalist, second only to Iraq.

Also a thing to mention is that an online business administration course is designed for individuals to be able to without problems proceed to bachelor’s degree programs. The 90 credit college degree meets the other bachelor college degree requirements so when you earn your own associate of arts in BA online, you may have access to the most recent technologies with this field. Some reasons why students are able to get their associate degree in business is because they can be interested in this area and want to find the general knowledge necessary just before jumping into a bachelor college diploma program. Thanks for the tips you actually provide in the blog.

You can see why Ron Paul was the only potential leader that understood or cared that the Federal Reserve was just a racket designed to separate people from their real wealth. Invested my 491 K into Gold & Silver 2 years ago because of rotten people like Geo. Soros and Warren Buffet . Both are responsible for the current multiplication of our debt by at least 4 X. Greenspan and Geithner and Bernanke are all modern day John Laws IMHO.Ponzi and Madoffs are still gasmimg us and Congress is acting as Wallstreets lackies .
